Non-woven wallpaper looks very realistic
The downside is that non-woven fabric attracts dust, but regular cleaning compensates for this disadvantage. Many manufacturers produce non-woven wallpaper for painting; they can be painted in the desired color.

Not just a loft: how to use decorative bricks in the interior
Pros and cons of brick wallpaper
If we talk about the advantages, they include:
- Ease of gluing even for beginners, when, without polluting the room, you can finish what you started in a couple of days;
- Availability of goods in terms of price and quality;
- The presence of such materials that do not accumulate dust, and are also easy to clean and wash;
- Possibility of decoration for a variety of designs with any shape;
- The abundance of variations in textured surfaces and color palettes allows you to imitate almost any type of masonry;
- They differ from plastic analogues in their quality and capabilities due to the high degree of detail.
A small design trick helps to smooth out almost the only drawback (the visual ability to distinguish such a finish from natural masonry).
The design is carried out on several or one side in such a way that the color scheme matches all the shades of the room, highlighting them in a soft way with its rough texture.
At the same time, you should not direct artificial light directly at it, so as not to emphasize the two-dimensional cladding of the surfaces.
What to make a brick wall from
To create an original design element, different materials and technologies are used. In the cooking room, both brick and decorative imitation tiles, plaster or plastic look luxurious. Proper application of techniques will allow you to obtain a bright, noticeable detail in the interior.
The beauty of a textured partition is hidden under a thick layer of plaster, paint or paper. To see the condition of the walls, you need to drill a hole. The material should not break or crumble, otherwise cracks will appear. Carefully removing the top tiers will help expose the brick safely.

Wallpaper solvent is applied to the surface with a roller, left for 15 minutes, then the remaining decoration is removed with a spatula. The hammer drill is difficult to control, so hand-held devices are used. The chisel is positioned at an angle and the metal is struck with a hammer. In order for the plaster to come off, you need to hit the peeling edges. Debris from the masonry is scraped off with a wire brush. It is better to clean the wall from above, gradually moving down to the floor and sanding down any uneven surfaces.
After the brick is exposed, the surface must be washed. Fill a bucket with warm water and use a clean rag. The stone is wiped with a cloth, removing remnants of plaster and whitewash. The rags and liquid are changed as they become dirty. The wall is left to dry for 2-3 days, otherwise swelling is possible after finishing.
To prevent air from the street from penetrating into the room, cracks and cracks are sealed with sealant. The seams between the elements are rubbed with fresh mortar. Matte material looks more natural than glossy options. Brick in the kitchen interior is primed and coated with ceramic impregnation. A water-based emulsion will help to achieve the effect of whitewashing on the walls - take 3 parts of paint for 1 part of liquid. Use a brush to make careless strokes, repeating as they dry.

The wall cannot be left unprotected, otherwise the raw materials will begin to crumble. If the interior needs a rich, raw tone, then it is better to use stain. The masonry is coated with the composition, alternating different shades. The color of the finish changes, but the texture of the material remains the same.

Types of wallpaper
Decide on the appropriate material before you begin the actual design. Despite the wide range of the offered assortment, not every wallpaper material can imitate masonry with sufficient reliability.
- Professionals recommend paying attention first to:
- Wallpaper with a paper base is a decent option, affordable and in all cases traditional. It adheres perfectly and has a sufficient variety of color variations. It is absolutely harmless to health, but will last no more than five years. It is worth considering their susceptibility to moisture, mechanical influences, and temperature. The appearance is perceived as insufficiently voluminous;
- Non-woven base. The price is high, but it is compensated by excellent performance characteristics. Perfectly masks wall imperfections without deteriorating even in difficult microclimate conditions. They can be periodically painted. Look realistically, a surface with such a coating accumulates dust quite well. If you clean it regularly, you can ensure a ten-year service life;
- Vinyl is easy to clean, and due to its density it is protected from various types of influences. Excellent imitation, but rarely used in living rooms, as it has insufficient air conductivity.
To help with the right choice, viewing numerous photos of brick wallpaper, which include detailed descriptions of the types of materials used, will help.
Kitchen decoration with brick wallpaper
The kitchen requires special attention when carrying out finishing work. If you decide to choose brick wallpaper for the kitchen, then you should not turn to the quality of the paper.
- There is always humidity, a high degree of pollution and temperature fluctuations. Such a difficult task can be assigned to wallpaper with a vinyl base or non-woven analogues. Wall cladding in their design will be a more practical solution, despite the relative high cost of materials.
- Dimension and layout should not be discounted. When a special place for a meal is allocated in a kitchen setting, then wallpaper that imitates brickwork must be applied in this particular place, thereby delineating the boundaries.
A small kitchen allows them to be placed along the entire working wall or just on the apron. If you put glass protection on top in the form of a partition, you can extend the service life.
White brick wallpaper is an excellent backdrop for a furniture set made of light wood. Also a good solution would be the presence of bright accents and a rich range of models.
The reddish background creates the basis for the use of cooler, calmer shades of bluish. It is this combination that brings a cozy atmosphere to the room.
Paper
They are made of paper, which makes these wallpapers sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, and mechanical damage. It is better to choose a washable coating. They are more durable, resistant to high humidity and scratches. Main advantages:
- Price. Paper finishing is much cheaper than other analogues, and the quality is quite high.
- Range. You can choose a variety of colors - dark “antique” brick, imitation of a light wall.
- Environmental friendliness. Only natural ingredients are used in production, so they do not emit harmful substances.
The wall under the paper does not mold because the material allows air to pass through well.
Brick wallpaper in the hallway
I like the option with a brick finish, but I have concerns about using such a non-standard coating. In order not to damage the cozy home environment, in this case it is worth using such a pattern on the wallpaper within the hallway.
This is the most ideal place for them. An important point in this design is the loft style, in the case when a single direction must be fully organized for all rooms and premises.
- White brick wallpaper in the hallway is more suitable for a narrow, elongated area.
- This color palette helps to visually expand the boundaries of space, despite the fact that a linear form is always difficult to implement design ideas.
- In such cases, it is better to choose pieces of furniture in lighter colors. Only in this case is it possible to enhance the desired stylistic effect.
Option for children's
A controversial solution is brick finishing in the room where the children are located. The rough appearance looks somewhat harsh for the tender age of babies. But for older children, whose imagination is already so developed that they prefer the style of castles or living conditions in catacombs, such a discovery will be interesting.
The coating is both safe and pleasant to the touch.
The informal thinking of the younger generation makes such unusual decoration especially attractive. This unique canvas will take on posters, paintings with abstractions and all kinds of photographs of idols.
Design tips
Decorative masonry in the interior is a bright element that is best used on one surface. You should not tile the entire kitchen, otherwise the room will visually look overloaded. One accent wall fits harmoniously into the room and logically completes the design.

Brick, clinker and gypsum have high roughness and poor hygroscopicity, so the material cannot be used for facing an apron. A special thermal screen used to cover the decor will help protect the raw materials and facilitate maintenance. The transparent coating is not visually noticeable.
A brick wall in a kitchen interior can look advantageous; you just need to choose a place with good lighting. If the decorative element is located away from the windows, then artificial lighting is used. Additional lamps around the perimeter of the site reveal the beauty of the finish.
